I was called several times by BRG claiming that I have outstanding unpaid payday loans from 5 years ago. They knew a lot of personal information and even called my father in law who is not on any previous loan document or credit application. They wanted to set up a payment plan to settle the accounts. Do not give these people any personal information it’s a scam!

very rude individual claiming i had a debt. asked me my name and he said a different birthdate. i said that was not me and my husband had been trying to call back and no one would talk with him. he told me my husband was lying. i then proceeded to tell him he needed to get his files straight and to call the correct individual. i hung up on him. he calls me back on my cell phone which i did not give him the number too, telling me that was uncalled for. my phone alerted me saying the call was suspected scam. it is now blocked.
he said his name was Terry Richardson. which i am sure is fake.

I just got this really weird phone call that was automated saying they are trying to track me down. They will use all the resources I had. I called back the number and it’s a company called BRG. Apparently it’s a huge scam. They called my Dad and left a message about me. I googled them and found this post. Don’t be fooled or give away any information. I know my credit very well and am current with everything. Please do NOT fall for this!

They called my mom first and left a message trying to trace me down. I called the number and they said I owed money to Global Group Funding for a loan. When I told her to not contact me via phone and to only contact via mail she got loud. Then I said it was fraud since I have never taken out a loan she began to yell at me saying if I don’t pay she will put my debt through. I received a call later on my phone from the same number and I explained the same thing to her and said I found them online as a scam company and she started yelling at me also… I want to make sure these people are stopped. They were asking fro me by my maiden name as well.

A woman claiming to be Jamie left a message on my mom’s answering machine saying that she was with a company called BRG and that if she knew my whereabouts and didn’t let them know, that law enforcement would authorize her to access all my records or something. I called the line back, and it had an automated message in the same woman’s voice, saying hit 1 if you know the name of your extension and 0 if you don’t. I tried both options. Each time I called, the phone rang and rang. Finally, someone picked up. I asked for Jamie, and she said that Jamie was their automated voice (although she sounded identical to "Jamie"). I asked what their company was, and she said something really fast and wouldn’t answer what sort of company it was. She asked my name, and read out the last 4 digits of my SSN. She asked me to "verify" my Social Security Number, and I refused. She said, "I’ll put it in our records that you refused to verify. Good day," and hung up on me.

They have continually been calling my father looking for me and neither of us have any debt. They called me last year and stated that I was sent to collections by a loan company I used over 10 years ago and paid in full. I was advised by my lawyer not to give them any information and have not heard from them again until a couple weeks ago when they started calling my father. We are both on the do not call list, but I was told by "Robert" that they do not abide by the DNC list because they aren’t making sales calls. He then asked for my father’s name and phone number to "remove him from my account." I did not provide him with any information and he got angry and hung up on me.

I received a call saying I owed for unpaid payday loans from 2013. They started to give names for the companies I owed so I googled them and they either didn’t have a valid contact or only had a wikipedia page. They were trying to get me to pay the debt amount or file a dispute, but when I asked to file the dispute, the rep just told me thank you for being nice, have a good day and did not proceed with the dispute process.

They called me and my grandmother saying they were needing help tracking me down. When I called I spoke to a lady who said she was Linsdey. She said that they had 4 people claiming I owed money to them, she gave me the names none of which I had heard of before. I asked that she send me a letter with this information on it to which she said she couldn’t until I made payment arrangements and they has my card info. I told her that without that info from her she wasn’t getting my info. She called me for about a week or two trying to get this information. I told her that I talked to my lawyer (which I did) and that I looked them up on the ScamPulse.com and that my lawyer said not to trust them and that they showed up as a scam and I haven’t heard anything from them again.

John called and stated that I owe a high balance on a loan in 2012. I made him aware that I didn’t do a loan in 2012. Then he stated it was 1 or 2 years ago. When I caught him in his lie he stated he said 1 or 2 years prior to me doing good the loan. Asked for the company name that I did the loan through he said he doesn’t have that information. If you are a debt collector they will have who the loan was done through no matter if it was a third party. I looked company up and so how they are doing this to several people. Debt collection company will send you letter in the mail to show proof you have been notified of a debt. I will having a lawyer look into the company.

This company called from 1-877-204-4869 and claimed to have an account from a payday service with my information associated with it from 2012. They said that I owed over $500. Upon telling them that I had fraudulent activity on my account in 2012, the lady named Liz hung up on me. I immediately called back and the phone was then answered by a lady named Lydia who told me that she would need my information to be able to identify the problem at hand. I told her I wasn’t giving my information out, she told that was fine, she had it by my phone number. I called back this afternoon and spoke to two different male individuals named Will and Rob who both hung up on me, when I inquired about the company and if they could send me information regarding my account that had been placed with them. Rob told me that my account had been marked as refusal to pay. I also asked if I could set up arrangements to make payments and he quickly offered to get my bank information. When I declined he hung up. Is there a way to stop this?

So I called this Michael Roberts at the above phone number and extension. 1.) I did not expect him to tell me what it was about, I was calling to give our address so that he could mail Joseph my son what ever they were trying to collect for. 2.) when they said they do not mail information out? I questioned weather or not it was a scam…. The man Blew up something about if I believed everything I read on Google? then he said they would not be calling my son again, and he ended it with he was going to take legal action and threatened me????…. So when My son came home he called again, got a recording left his address and requested in writing what this was pertaining to….. My son even came home early from work to call this Michael Roberts back today 4-5-16… Which Mr Michael Roberts told my son " *** quite calling this company" and hung up on him???? I called him back and he answered yes ***.. I told him I was handing the phone to my son Joseph …. at which point he threaten me again, were my husband grabbed the phone and asked him who the hell do you think you are? ( we had the phone on speaker phone ) He said they do not send out letters? and to never call this office again and hung up. My son is checking his credit report.

Company called BRG has been calling my cell phone on autodial for days now looking for a relative of mine. When I ask what the call is about they hang up or respond with foul language. Numbers that the call is coming from are: 312-788-8046, 877-344-7592. I know that "BRG" is a bogus company name for some folks that have been running a scam on old payday loan customers for at least 2 years. They call with threats of warrants being issued and being served at your office or home. They claim to file criminal charges of breach of contract (and say they will have you arrested) and the amount owed is highly inflated. They antagonize you to get you to pay over the phone, not return to the store. If you try to call the numbers back, you never manage to get hold of anyone.

They were trying to solicit social security information and would not provide any details on their company name. Please investigate this matter as this seems like a scam to acquire PII and scam unsuspecting people out of money.
